</span><span id="midArticle_0"></span><p> * Euro-priced gold holds just below record highs</p><span id="midArticle_1"></span><p> * Correlation with equities breaks down</p><span id="midArticle_2"></span><p> * Coming up: U.S. August PPI, retail sales; 1230 GMT
</p><span id="midArticle_3"></span><p> By <a href="http://blogs.reuters.com/search/journalist.php?edition=us&n=amanda.cooper&">Amanda Cooper</a>	</p><span id="midArticle_4"></span><p> LONDON, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Gold fell on Tuesday after the
European Commission said it would soon present options on how
the euro zone might issue bonds jointly, which boosted equities
and other riskier assets in what investors took as a step in
quelling the debt crisis.	</p><span id="midArticle_5"></span><p> Gold priced in euros also came under pressure from the
pick-up in the single European currency but remained within less
than 2 percent of record highs struck the day before.	</p><span id="midArticle_6"></span><p> European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said the
group would examine how the euro zone could issue bonds jointly,
but added this would be no magic bullet to the end of the
crisis. 	</p><span id="midArticle_7"></span><p> Barroso's comments weighed on gold and other safe-havens
such as German government bonds, but analysts said that with no
immediate solution to the crisis in sight, the bullion price
would continue to react to surges and retreats in investor
appetite for risk.	</p><span id="midArticle_8"></span><p> Spot gold was last down 0.7 percent at $1,821.00 an
ounce at 1150 GMT, having lost 2.0 percent so far this week and
set for its second weekly fall, its longest since early July.	</p><span id="midArticle_9"></span><p> Gold priced in euros was last down 0.2 percent at
1,337.18 euros an ounce, just 1.4 percent shy of the all-time
high at 1,373.92 euros hit on Monday.	</p><span id="midArticle_10"></span><p> "After the sharp rally in gold prices in July and August
spurred by an increase in risk aversion, some investors have
become concerned about the extent of the metal's rise. In this
regard, the price is currently in a consolidation phase," said
Anne-Laure Tremblay, an analyst at BNP Paribas.	</p><span id="midArticle_11"></span><p> "It is useful to follow gold both in USD and in EUR. As this
current consolidation phase shows, however, gold does not always
reflect the level of risk aversion/appetite," she said.	</p><span id="midArticle_12"></span><p> The alarm caused by the euro zone debt crisis has
intensified this week after Moody's Investor Services cut its
ratings on the debt of Societe Generale and Credit
Agricole , France's second- and third-largest banks,
while on Tuesday, Italy was forced to pay the highest interest
on five-year debt at auction since joining the euro in 1999.	</p><span id="midArticle_13"></span><p> Also reflecting the unease in Washington over the crisis,
U.S. Treasury Secretary Timonthy Geithner took the unprecedented
decision to attend a meeting of EU finance ministers on Friday.	</p><span id="midArticle_14"></span><p> Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou, French President
Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel are due to
hold a conference call later on Wednesday after talk resurfaced
among euro zone policymakers about a Greek default.
 	</p><span id="midArticle_15"></span><p> Markets were hopeful it may result in support for Greece and
tame concerns about a Greek default but they were not confident
any agreement would be enough to stem contagion to larger euro
zone countries such as Italy and Spain. 	</p><span id="midArticle_0"></span><p> 	
</p><span id="midArticle_1"></span><p> CRISIS SPREADS	</p><span id="midArticle_2"></span><p> Fear of the spread of the debt crisis to the larger
economies of the euro zone has been a major driving force behind
gold's 28-percent rally this quarter.	</p><span id="midArticle_3"></span><p> Flows of metal into exchange-traded funds backed by physical
gold -- one of a number of gauges of investor demand for gold --
have risen by 4 percent so far this quarter, compared with a 1
percent rise in the third quarter of 2010.	</p><span id="midArticle_4"></span><p> The dollar's strength against the euro has acted as a brake
on gold, which usually reacts negatively to a rising U.S.
currency.	</p><span id="midArticle_5"></span><p> But gold's correlation with the dollar has also eroded ahead
of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting next week, which will
provide the markets with the next signal on where U.S. monetary
policy is headed to revitlise the flagging economy.	</p><span id="midArticle_6"></span><p> "As long as the dollar remains buoyant, it will hamper
gold's potential," said UBS strategist Edel Tully in a note.	</p><span id="midArticle_7"></span><p> "Moreover, as we have often noted, gold is not immune to
downward pressure whenever risk aversion becomes extreme and
assets are broadly sold to raise cash: while we are not quite
there yet, tension is definitely building up and equities are
trading heavy," she said.	</p><span id="midArticle_8"></span><p> After having spent trillions of dollars over the last couple
of years on buying government debt to anchor market interest
rates and committing to keeping U.S. rates around zero for at
least two years, many fear the Fed may be running out of options
to kickstart growth and job creation.	</p><span id="midArticle_9"></span><p> The prospect of another round of bond-buying, or
quantitative easing, seems to have receded and the Fed is now
widely expected to signal it will sell shorter-dated Treasuries
and buy longer-dated debt to lower longer-term interest rates.	</p><span id="midArticle_10"></span><p> Gold has been a major beneficiary of the Fed's QE programme,
having risen by 40 percent since the start of the central bank's
$600-billion bond-buying spree that ended in June, thanks to the
rise in liquidity and the downward pressure on interest rates
that make it a more attractive investment.	</p><span id="midArticle_11"></span><p> In other precious metals, silver was down 0.1 percent
at $41.00 an ounce, platinum was flat at $1,809.74 an
ounce, while palladium was down 0.1 percent at $720.75 an
ounce.
